Firmware upgrade procedure
The fiber laser power supply and the laser head controller support field upgrades to their firmware using a standard
ethernet connection. The equipment needed to perform a firmware upgrade is a host computer, standard ethernet cable,
and Hypertherm flash upgrade programs and associated binary files.
The fiber laser uses a private network with a fixed addressing scheme. The fiber laser power supply should never be
connected to other networks. Before the host computer can be used for the upgrade procedure it needs to have a
properly configured Ethernet Connection set to an IP address of 10.217.2.1. The following instructions are for a typical
Windows XP based computer, the instructions also assume that the user is familiar with configuring local area network
settings. For details about setting an IP address on other operating systems please refer to your computer’s operating
system manual.
Note: Phoenix software version 9.72.1 and higher now includes the firmware for the laser system. If the firmware
for the Laser Power Controller (LPC) or Laser Head Controller (LHC) is older than the version in Phoenix,
they will be updated to the new version.
Setting the IP address
1. From the Start menu select the Settings tab.
2. From the Settings menu select Network Connections.
3. From the Network Connections menu select Local Area Connection.
